3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices jumped more than $5 on Monday, 18^th July 2022, as oil supplies remained tight. 

As expected, President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia did not result in any commitment from the largest OPEC producer to increase oil supplies. 

Reuters reported earlier that Gazprom had declared force majeure on gas supplies to Europe to at least one major customer, according to a letter from Gazprom.  

This could exacerbate the conflict between Russia and Europe. 

That added support to oil prices as traders see it as a possible harbinger of Russia’s move to use energy as a weapon.
